GTX560 Ti 1GB
vs
Radeon HD 7850 1GB
Both were of similar rank in Tom's graphic cards Hierarchy char
I'm planning to build a budget gaming PC for my son and found these two on craigslist.
both seem in descent shape in pics.
Not much hope for a warranty but course I will ask 4 or do tests myself b4 buying.
Both were at about $60.

Thanx

Yeah the 560 ti is ok, but the 7850 is newer and better performance.

The 7850 is the faster card of the two. I wouldn't recommend buying used card but for 60$ that seems pretty low for those cards. You will want to know what the card has been through before buying. If it does break on you, it was only 60$ and if it doesn't, you got one hell of a bargain.

yup, both were the correct models.
and the guys were asking $70 for the 560 ti, and $75 7850, but I figured I could haggle it down to at least $60 ^^
Well, I guess It'll be the 7850 it is then.
I'll try to poke and look and test as much as I can b4 buying.
Thanx for the help guys ^^
